America could be anywhere on the continents of North or South America, so that__ not specific enough, and the part about the states doesn__ narrow it down, either. Mexico has united states, too. So does Canada, except they call them provinces. It__ not even a name. It__ just a vague description. It__ so generic, like naming a country __ountry.

If not, it may be time to stop making arms control so politically complicated__ime to stop letting arms control get in the way of disarmament.

With each passing day, I become more and more convinced that the greatest threat to American freedom is the United States government.

What led to September 11 is that most decision makers in the White House thought like you. They supported despotic regimes in the Middle East to multiply the profits of oil and arms companies, and armed violence escalated and reached our shores.

Detroit is just like everywhere else, only more so--a lot more so.

It is hard to imagine having a government more secretive than the United States. Virtually everything that government does, of any significance, is conducted behind an extreme wall of secrecy. The very few leaks that we__e had over the last decade are basically the only ways that we__e had to learn what our government is doing.

It seems to be Latin American destiny to always have the United States say 'amen.
